There are many physical, mental and emotional health benefits associated with practicing Hot-yoga. It is widely recognized for its ability to:

In addition to all this, practicing Bikram / Hot yoga will make your heart rate increase when activity is done in the heat, which creates increased cardiovascular activity and quite simply will cause you to burn more calories quicker. Additionally, the heat increases metabolism levels and speeds up the breakdown of glucose and fatty acids. This helps to tone your body and lose weight. The result is the body will increase the ability to burn fat and increase metabolism.

And if this is not enough, practicing yoga in a heated room stimulates the lymphatic system responsible for flushing out toxins from your system. This rids your body of harmful substances and makes it healthier. The hot and humid room makes your body sweat, which promotes detoxification and elimination through the skin, the body's largest organ. Your capillaries will dilate in the heat oxygenating the tissues, muscles, glands and organs and helping in the removal of waste products.

After six years of service in the United States Navy that had taken a toll on his body and mind, Anthony decided it was time to improve his quality of life and started practicing Bikram yoga.

"I've just finished a 3 week package at action point and I've honestly had the best time. I was a bit nervous before arriving because I wasn't sure exactly what to expect but everything has been better than I had imagined. All of the staff there are so amazing, you quickly start to feel like part of the family and they are just as sad to see you go as you are to leave them! The workouts and all the training I got was fantastic. I do a lot of exercise back at home but I learnt so much and my fitness/ flexibility/ strength/ stamina all increased dramatically in the time I was there- I just hope I can keep it up now! There was a great variety in all the workouts which made it fun and interesting, and more challenging! Eric (the main personal trainer I had) is like a guru he knows everything, very precise and professional and a great person to work with. The owners were also there during my stay and they were so friendly I often forgot that they were the owners. I felt like their surrogate daughter! Taking me on trips and including me in everything. The food in the restaurant is delicious as well, and refreshingly healthy. Action Point is an excellent resort and if you're thinking about doing any sort of retreat this is the place to go! They're also really accommodating if you want to change anything on your timetable or switch things up a bit, they do all they can to work around you. Oh and the accommodation was great as well, lovely big bedrooms with an ensuite, world class gym equipment, great squash courts, an infinity pool and beanbags on the roof! What more could you want? See you soon Action Point! Missing you already."

"I came here to do sport and for reading. Have booked the 3 week fitness package. Everything was taken care of and I could utilize my time here to the fullest. Top food, friendly staff, motivational trainers. I felt like home here after the a couple of days. Can definitely recommend to book a package, follow the plan and in between the gaps you can enjoy the great sea view pool, read, relax or take the bike / motorbike and go to the beach."

Review by a traveller from Port Vila, Vanuatu

"I travel across Asia extensively and need a place to work as have no office. Keys for me are a gym, comfortable clean room, wireless, good food and close to the action if you want. Action point is my favourite. Three levels of gym, Thai food, roof top pool, close scooter to the beach and hundreds of restaurants plus very affordable. Top place to live and work or just get fit."

"I was so happy to find this resort tucked away from the party areas of Phuket. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. The bathroom had an amazing shower. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a beautiful pool and an amazing panoramic view. The gym facilities were great! Highly recommend staying at action Point! The owners were also there when I was there and treated us like hosts in their home."

"Beautiful view from the rooftop and pool of Chalong Bay. Very reasonable pricing with many amenities including yoga, gym, restaurant/bar, rooftop pool, steam room, ice baths, crossfit and more. Pretty much all you could ask for! I have looked around for a good gym and yoga and this was by far the best choice with the best price! Definitely recommend!"

Review by Louise from Nanjing, China

"Quiet location, amazing soft beds; large rooms with wooden floors and super size shower. Just what I needed to get over jet lag from travelling to Asia again. Breathtaking infinity pool with room to relax in the adjoining restaurant or deck close by. Lovely cooked breakfast included with great coffee served by super friendly staff. You don't need to be a fitness freak to stay here, I didn't go near the gym. A little far from Rawai beach/Chalong Bay unless you have transport and if you're walking you are on the side of the road, literally, as motorbikes and cars rush by."

Review by Jose from USA

"The staff was really helpful all around, when we got to Phuket the airline (Bangkok air) delayed our luggage, the taxi took two hours to get to the hotel because of traffic so when we arrived we weren't in a great mood. The staff was compassionate about our situation and called the airline to have them deliver our bags to the right hotel. Sergio, the temporary manager went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with our stay, he gave us tips about the area and suggested we get a scooter to get around so we wouldn't waste money on taxis. The front desk ladies were also very helpful, we needed a motor scooter to get around and they had one brought to us, we needed some clothes washed so they sent them out for us at a good rate and they also booked our day trips to James Bond and Phi Phi islands. We also thought that free American style breakfast every morning was a big plus. The hotel also has a huge gym conveniently on site which is very clean and has up to date equipment. If you're into fitness this is definitely a place for you. Everyday I rode our scooter to one of the best Muay Thai gyms in Phuket (AKA Thailand) which was a 5 minute ride. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this hotel."

Review by Scott from California, USA

"Mission accomplished! I was the guinea pig for the seven day weight loss program. Things went better than expected and the manager, Geoffrey, made sure everything ran smoothly. The program is a great value if you look around at some of the other wellness retreats in Phuket.Starting from the big picture and working into more details, the facility is only a year old so all of the equipment is brand new. The gym is better equipped than the one I use back in the US. The environment is good and there are serious workout folks (pretty people) around, but the gym never seems crowded. The environment lends itself to a great week of fitness, but the schedule can be customized to get out on a boat or explore the island for an afternoon or two.The instruction was top notch. The nutritional consult from Dave was enlightening and informative and I was able to act on his advice immediately. Trish, the muay thai trainer was great and demanded everything you had during each session. Geoffrey, the manager was also the personal trainer and he pushed me pretty hard an corrected some bad technique that I had acquired over years of quasi training.Being only a year old, the rooms were spacious and modern. Bed was a comfortable as any luxury hotel I have stayed in. It is very quiet at nice and half the rooms have a sea view which is a nice way to wake up. Wifi was great.The restaurant and staff were great. I was a little apprehensive about signing up for a seven day meal plan, but the food was gourmet from the salads to the steaks. Great thai food too which is really healthy if you hold the rice and noodles. A new gourmet chef was starting when I was leaving, so the menu should continue to evolve. The detox juices and post workout protein shakes (which are hard to find in Thailand) were great supplements.The view from the restaurant and roof (where the massages happen) are spectacular and something you would not expect when you first drive down the soi. Sauna and pool were great and a welcome relief from the workouts.The hotel is located in Rawai and there are places within walking distance from the hotel, but if you rent a scooter which can be delivered to you at the hotel, it opens up an amazing area. Nai Harn beach is only a five min ride and one of my favorite "local" beaches in Phuket. I started most of my days walking around the Nai Harn beach lake and up to the lookout point where a cold coconut was a tasty reward.If you are looking to focus on fitness and not as much partying (although that can be found as well), then this is a great option."

Review by Brinarina from Konstanz, Germany

"We stayed almost 2 weeks and we can't complain about anything. The gym is perfect and so much fun to train in. We went almost every day and never there where too many people training. Also the rooms are very modern with a very comfortable bed. We travelled for almost 2 month and nowhere we slept so good."

Review by Ted from Toronto, Canada

"I was looking forward to an active getaway that also allowed me some down time. I settled on Action Point because of it's smaller room capacity, and location. Yes, you will need to rent a scooter as it is not necessarily within walking distance; but everything is a very short scooter ride away - which, in itself, provides an excellent opportunity to see the sights of Phuket Island.Action Point picked me up from the airport, and upon check in, I saw that they also rented scooters - they made a phone call, and within minutes, a scooter was there, paperwork in hand. This pretty much defines the rest of my experience with their staff. Any request that I made was met with a smile and was dealt with immediately and to complete satisfaction.The rooms were modern, clean and spacious. The waterfall shower was definitely a nice touch, and was always just the right temperature. The gym is by far the best I have ever seen at a hotel. I don't think there's a bad view that's even possible from this hotel. The roof top restaurant - breakfast was included; but I enjoyed other meals here as well - was always fresh, delicious, healthy and served by a very attentive, professional and friendly staff.While there are several perks to this hotel, by far what sets it apart are the people. Yes, it is absolutely and awesome gym, an outstanding restaurant, and it's location is off the beaten path that allow for some 'rest and recuperation' between working out at the gym, or hitting up one of the local Muay Thai camps, or just taking in the sights and sounds of Phuket, the staff here is incredible. They were always attentive, greeted you with a smile, and always asked about your day and gave excellent recommendations on how to make your trip even better.Honestly - if you are travelling to Phuket, and whether you are a fitness buff or not, strongly consider this hotel. I know I will be back here for sure on my next trip to Phuket!"

Review by Conor from Dublin, Ireland

"I loved this place! I had been travelling for a while and booked here to get some much needed exercise. the gym is spread over two floors and is excellent and has great state of the art equipment and studio/squash courts downstairs. The rooms are spacious and clean with nice views. The restaurant makes healthy tasty meals at great prices and there is a lovely rooftop pool with views of the bay! The only downside is the hotel is about a 10 min drive from any of the strips of restaurants and bars which makes for expensive transport so I would advise renting a scooter! But if you just wanna chill and get some exercise in a fantastic gym this place is perfect!"

Review by Sylvio from Guangdong, China

"The rooms are pretty spacy and very modern. Big flat screens with HDMI connector at the side for connecting a BD player or such. All the lights can be managed by remote control. Nice rain shower. The staff is very friendly and most speak okay-ish English. The gym is just AWESOME! Well equipped, you basically have everything, clean and full functioning. The rooftop pool is nice and the restaurant features delicious dishes to choose from. TOP experience. I'll come back for sure."
